Details
Signed as a free agent by the expansion Vancouver Canucks prior to the 1970-71 NHL season, Marc Reaume would last just 27 games in his return to the league. Other than three games with the Montreal Canadiens in 1963-64, Marc hadn’t been a regular in the NHL since the 1960-61 season with the Detroit Red Wings. He’d come to Detroit in a trade for Red Kelly.
However, in the minor pros, he had considerable success. In 1962-63, he was honoured with the Eddie Shore Award as the AHL’s top defenseman while playing for the Hershey Bears. That year, he helped the Bears to the Calder Cup final before falling to the Buffalo Bisons in a tight full seven game series.
With Vancouver of the WHL, Reaume helped the club win consecutive Lester Patrick Cup championships in 1968-69 and 1969-70. In the final year, he was the recipient of the Hal Laycoe Cup as the league’s top blue liner.
Between 1954-55 and 1970-71, Marc Reaume played in 344 regular season and 21 playoff games in the National Hockey League with the Toronto Maple Leafs, Detroit Red Wings, Montreal Canadiens and Vancouver Canucks. He was a two time Calder Cup champion in the AHL, with the Pittsburgh Hornets in 1954-55 and the Rochester Americans in 1967-68.
